November = Bonfire night!

29.

NOVEMBER???!!! Where the did November come from? This year is whizzing by so unbelievably quickly I've almost got whiplash! Soon it will be Christmas, quickly followed by New Year and we start all over again lovelies! 

 I'm currently on Spotify and I've gone onto the Radio section and chose to listen to some Singer/Songwriters and the first song on is Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter, this song is absolutely stunning! I beg you to listen to it, Damien Rice's album O was one of my favourites a few years ago. I would just listen to it when I was struggling and I'd just relax, have a little cry to myself and sing the house down to all the songs. Beautiful, if any of you listen to my music suggestions please listen to this one. 
If you listen to the song that picture will make sense.
In a few days time so many of us will congregate around a big bonfire in a field where the children are excited by the toffee apples and the mystical magic of the sparklers that we all use to write our names in mid air. As the fireworks zoom into the sky and make their exploding sounds we all look up to the sky in amazement of how all the colours disperse into nothing. The oo's and the ahh's from everyone and the reflection of the orange and red flames in all our eyes is truly perfect. It's a shame that those feelings of that night only seem to be there on the 5th November, bonfires and fireworks any other time of the year don't have that same effect...to me they don't anyway. 

 I love this time of year, getting cosy in big jumpers and having every part of yourself wrapped up in multiple layers of knitwear, but the tip of your nose always turns red from the bitter icy air that is freely floating around. As November slowly grows into itself and December appears, hot chocolates will be the drink of choice for most. Christmas decorations will be popping up more and more in each shop and we will be all panicking about what presents we still need to buy for our loved ones. We dislike the stress of the build up but when the day comes it's totally worth it. 


This time of year is about togetherness, it's about friends, it's about family. I can't wait to to see my niece turn eight years old, I have memories from being that age in my mind that I still go back too to this very day. I love seeing the person she is becoming. My nephew turns one in December how crazy is that!! I saw him today and he smiled the minute he saw me and that made my heart melt! I just love this time of year.

 I hope you all enjoy bonfire night on Wednesday, please write your names in the air with the sparklers :) 

 Much love
Beth xx

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
